Coding-agent prompt

You're working with Remix. React framework focused on web fundamentals and nested routing.

Best practices:
- Lean on: web standards focus
- Lean on: excellent data loading
- Lean on: progressive enhancement

Things to watch for:
- Watch out for: smaller ecosystem than next
- Watch out for: hosting less turnkey

General guidance:
- Canonical docs: https://remix.run — check here before inventing APIs.
- Keep secrets in environment variables, never commit them.
- Write TypeScript where the ecosystem supports it; add types to every exported function.
- Add tests for the critical paths before declaring the task done.
- Read-the-docs is usually faster than guessing — cite the docs page in code comments when you apply a non-obvious pattern.
